CCPL hosts Star Wars Reads Day to kick off One Book Charleston County

Very good reader you are

Celebrate Halloween early during the Charleston County Public Library's Star Wars Reads Day, which will be held on Oct. 5 from 12 to 4 p.m. The event will kick off the library's One Book campaign, which encourages locals to read and discuss a chosen book each year. This year's book is Divergent by Veronica Roth, a story of a futuristic society where residents are separated into five distinct groups determined by their beliefs and inclinations.

The day's events include a costume contest and photo opps with your favorite costumed Star Wars characters, plus games like Nerfherding, a Clones and Droids hunt, and Stormtrooper bowling. At 3 p.m., the library will show the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars in the Teen room. You can munch on themed treats and make crafts too.
